New Jersey Institute of Technology

Public university

👍👍 I had two of my masters degree here at NJIT. I could say this is the place where I transformed from a student to an entrepreneur. The professors and faculties I met here are professional, dedicated and considerate. Some of them became my mentor and friends. This is what I like about NJIT. If you are...

College Avenue Student Center

👍👍 A great place for students and faculty to study, get food, collaborate and hold meetings or events. Few food options. As of right now, there is little to no traffic as two of the food places have closed due to COVID and overall less usage.

Montclair State University

University

👍 My son is going there in the time of Corona, so it's really hard to tell. Many of the dining options are closed or are limited (rightfully so as there are far less students on campus), not many in person classes, etc really take away from the "college experience". Hopefully before he graduates he'll...

4.30 (483 reviews) (~22.44 km from centre)

Saint Peter's University

Private university

😐 Like with most colleges and universities, you need to do your research BEFORE deciding where you want to apply. Don’t take their brochures at face value; if on a weekday tour of any school, try to walk around after the tour and see if you can find students in the major you want to study and ask for...

4.30 (206 reviews) (~8 km from centre)

Pace University

Private university

😠 Pace is expensive, doesn't help the students getting internships and when the students get one on their own, Pace takes the credit. After graduating, the students don't get a job. One of their alumni just got a good job and due to she owes money, they don't give her transcripts and are retaining her...

4.30 (143 reviews) (~4.8 km from centre)

Rutgers University Inn and Conference Center

Conference center

4.30 (128 reviews) (~48.21 km from centre)

NYFA I New York Film Academy

College

🫤 The (limited) number of students that actually care is the only reason this school gets 2 stars. I attended the Masters Cinematography program in Los Angeles, and I am here to tell you that for that program- I can't speak to the others with as much in depth knowledge- the school is a joke, and serve...

4.20 (251 reviews) (~5.84 km from centre)

Queens College - Fitzgerald Gym

Physical fitness program

😠 Equipment is old and outdated in the weight room it's small and compact. You would think for University and the cost of classes and tuition there would be more up-to-date equipment especially for the prices they charger non-students. Swimming pool nice

4.20 (44 reviews) (~13.58 km from centre)

Iona University

Private university

😠 If I could give it 0 stars, I would. This school only cares about taking money from its students. It rewards white students with financial aid and higher scholarships even if their parents are rich.The students of color are treated terribly and end up paying 20,000+ per semester, even if they cannot...
